Here we are going to help you install http 2 protocol on your cPanel/WHM server in order to achieve better performance for your website(s).

Enable http 2 is not as difficult as it might sound and most of the time you will be able to achieve this without any help from our friendly support admins, which by the way are always there if you want them to assist you.

If your server is already on EasyApache 4 then with just a few simple commands you will be able to enable http 2.

Step 1:From terminal you need to issue the following commands

Code:

# yum install ea4-experimental
# yum install ea-apache24-mod_http2

Step 2:Connect to cPanel/WHM and search for "Apache Configuration" then "Include Editor"
Add the following code to all there different .conf files you will find there.

Once you press "Update" you will be prompted to restart apache, after that your site(s) will support HTTP 2

Don't forget that you can always ask our friendly support for help.

To block an IP address you need to type the iptables command as follows:

iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP

Replace IP-ADDRESS with your actual IP address like the following example.

iptables -A INPUT -s 198.168.2.1 -j DROP

If you have IP tables firewall script, add the above rule to your script.If you just want to block access to one port from an ip 192.168.2.1 to port 22 then type command:

iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.1 -p tcp --destination-port 22 -j DROP

CentOS / RHEL / Fedora Block An IP And Save It To Config File
Type the following two command:

iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.1 -j DROP
service iptables save

How to UnBlock an IP Address on Centos / Linux Server

Use the following syntax (the -d options deletes the rule from table):

iptables -D INPUT -s 192.168.2.1 -j DROP
service iptables save

All our servers,...Having the ability to run the software you need and optimizing your settings according to your needs is GO GO for Go ZEN Host.

All our servers, Business Hosting, Reseller Hosting etc are on CloudLinux, that gives you the customer the ability to change settings according to your site or your customers site needs.

Let's see how you can change PHP settings and Max Execution time in case you need to run a script that takes more time. (Keep in mind that even though you can actually change the max_execution_time CloudLinux will still prevent your site from overloading the server).

Step 1:
Once you are inside your cPanel you need to find (typing in the search box is fast and accurate) the PHP Selector as you can see on the image bellow!

Step 2:
Once you select the PHP Select Version tool, you will see the modules that your site uses based on your current settings. From here you can actually change the PHP version for your account and add or remove php modules that you might not need.

Step 3:
Change specific PHP settings like max_execution_time and or RAM
Please be careful with those settings as wrong values can actually make your site slow down instead of improving performance.

We hope that this was helpful enough, as always you can ask for help on our forums or by filling a support request.

With all recent Google algorithm changes you might find that some pages are build using static html just for speed... in cases like that it's more likely that you will end up having URL's looking like this: mydomain.com/blog.html

Well.. no worries, as we have a fix for this and it's easy!
Using .htaccess and making sure that the following rules do not conflict with any other rules you might have not only you will manage to remove the .html file extension from your URL's but we also create a permanent redirection for all .html URL's in order to avoid been penalized by Google.

Need any help ? Don't hesitate to ask on our forums or just post a comment.
Do you wanna try this yourself ? Order a VPS from GoZEN Host and start testing in a couple of minutes.

Today, Google is flipping the proverbial switch and is rolling out its mobile-friendly update – something that could potentially affect over 60 percent of live sites and change the way we are used to find what we want and where we want.

Google new algorithm - Is your site mobile friendly ?

As we all know already Google is the major search engine tool that drives most of the traffic to your site, based on that all webmasters and site owners keep struggling to attract more traffic that will bring more sales to their sites constantly.

As Google explains, in order for a site to be considered mobile-friendly, its text has to be readable without tapping and zooming, its tap targets need to be spaced out appropriately, and the page avoids unplayable content or horizontal scrolling. In other words, the site simply needs to be easily usable from a mobile device.

The company also clarifies that the changes will only affect a site’s search ranking on mobile devices – and it only applies to individual pages, not entire websites. It also only impacts searches done on smartphones, not tablets.

Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:26:44 GMTSeems like those emails confuse some of you, but let's see what the following email usually states and one of the most common reasons why you are getting such.

The following error occured :
Could not connect to database, please check the Username/Password of your database. If changed, please update the details in Softaculous installations using Edit Details.

If you wish to unsubscribe from such emails, go to your Control Panel -> Softaculous -> Email Settings

Most common reasons for something like that to happen is manually deletion of the auto installation you performed under your account using GoZEN's Softaculous auto installation scripts.

The easy way to get rid of those emails is to just unsubscribe from your cPanel, the best way is to visit Softaculous under your cPanel account and remove the installation (even though it's already physically removed).
That way the cron job will have less to do next time, and those emails will stop going through your email box.

There's this fantastic tool from ConfigServer that makes your life as a System Administrator much more easier and much more accurate when it comes to emails and it's also a nice tool if you want to find spam related issues.
Here's a list of what you can do with just a few clicks before going to the black and ugly command line tool, ssh.

The product provides you with an interface to the cPanel user accounts email configuration without having to login to their accounts.

And it's also domain based rather than account based tool.

Modify Outgoing Mail Hourly Limits

You need to clearly understand that there’s no way you can restore your stats after deletion, so please make sure you have everything you need before that.
Stats are stored in text files in regards to the domains or subdomains or add on domains, so in order to delete specific domain stats, you need find the text file for the subdomain and remove it only.

A typical subdomain file name will look like the following: awstats032014.yourdomain.tld.txt

This txt file shows the date March 2014 for the yourdomain.tld. Deleting this file will delete the stats for that specific month and that specific domain or subdomain.
Below are the steps on how to do this.

How to remove all AWStats history

Login into your cPanel.

Go to the File Manager.

Select the Home directory and click Go.

Navigate to the tmp/awstats folder.

Move the files to a backup folder for future reference, or delete them from the directory.

Well, Rkhunter (Rootkit Hunter) is an open source Unix/Linux based scanner tool for Linux systems released under GPL that scans backdoors, rootkits and local exploits on your systems.
It scans hidden files, wrong permissions set on binaries, suspicious strings in kernel etc.

Here we are going to help you install RKhunter on your Linux Dedicated/VPS box, step by step!Step 1
First download the latest stable version of Rkhunter tool by going to Rootkit Hunter or use the following wget command to download the tar file to your box.

*Notice when you read this post version might have changed so it's better to look up for the proper version first and adjust the wget command accordingly.Step 2
Now that you have the latest version it's time to do some real work with RKhunter.

Step 3
Let's create a cron job and have an email alert whenever our box gets scaned by RKhunter
Create a file called rkhunter.sh under /etc/cron.daily/, which then scans your file system every day and sends email notifications to your email id.

Now you may have a lot to think about when updating your site.

As you can see here the Development Status of Joomla moves forward and version 2.5.x as long with 3.2.x soon will be put to history.

So WHY should you update to Joomla 3.2.x NOW and not wait ?

Security updates - The #1 reason to update is to stay up to date with newest security updates in Joomla!
This helps prevent your site from being hacked and having the down time that will affect your business income.

Two factor authentication for Joomla! - A new optional security measure which was previously very expensive and was limited to banking institutions and large corporations.

Content versioning for core and third-party components - Joomla! now automatically saves each version of your changes and allows you to easily revert back to previously saved work.

Joomla Extension Finder (JEF) - You no longer have to visit the Joomla Extension Directory to install new extensions into your site. Joomla! has now made it faster and easier for you to discover new extensions with the new point-and-click interface built into your administration panel.

You get to work with one of the most experienced Joomla! firms available!
